From livestreaming video to new smartphone features, 2016 brought us more ways to capture and share experiences.

And when the ball drops on New Year's Eve, we'll all likely grab our mobile devices to do just that.

We're taking a close look this year at how cities around the world are saying goodbye to 2016 and hello to 2017 -- and the photos that capture those moments.

Apple (AAPL) has partnered with 15 photographers, based in countries such as Australia, Italy and Mexico, to highlight the festivities with photos taken on iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus devices.

Here's a look at what's been captured by Apple's selected photographers so far.
